Super Bowl Preview, DFS Advice, Best Bets and More

You're listening to the Fantasy Sports Radio Network Fantasy best Friends Forever, Do Do Do Do Do Do Do Do Do Do Don too. Yeah, as the Fantasy fast Friends Forever here at the Fantasy Sports Radio Network. I'm sad for Reggie Stample. I am Greg Sausman. Freggie will be

here in just a moment. Of course. Today on the program, it's all about one thing, and that obviously is super Bowl fifty three is not really about one thing because I need to give Frank an opportunity to to go off right after yesterday's trade for the Knicks, I would feel like it wouldn't be fair to go all in with the Super Bowl and not have the ability to give Franky the opportunity. It made me really to give you my thoughts on this deal. We're really get in

the super Bowl. Obviously, we're gonna give you our DFS picks. Frank will let you know what he bet on yesterday in Jersey. You'll be able to ask him exactly how he feels now that he's eating bread, he's eating bacon, he's drinking beer, that life is good and Frankie's back to normal again. You'll get to hear all of this over the next hours hour And with that, I have one question, what's going on? Reggae? Reggy? The truth is I got held up in the bathroom because I've been

consuming too many carbs. My body wasn't ready for it. It was not ready for it. How do you feeling that? Oh? And what's lunch? Mixed? I honestly I feel mixed. There's a lot going on. I don't want to touch too much on like the portazinguis trade, because I want to get into the Super Bowl. This is your chance though. But yeah, there's a there's a lot going on between between the NBA, between the NFL. Beer back in my life, bread, back in my life. There's a lot going on, Greg,

So what's for lunch? I don't have anything planning yet. I have apples in my bag. I think yes or to Yang City's gonna buy me lunch? I have to ask you serious, I'll take a free lunch, all right before we get into the super Bowl. I want to go water wall honestly with super Bowl, of course, before we get into it is well thought about that you don't forget about our guy, Jim Day. Sorry Jim. Hey guys, how are you doing? Happy Friday? And we get football in a couple of days. I can't wait. How did

you sleep last night? I slept really good the last two nights, actually because I met. I was pounding it a few days before that. So lasterday nights I've gotten some nice early sleep and I'm good to god. You did you you something to help enhance your sleep? No, no, I never take anything go to sleep, all right. That was my attempt at some kind of frenzy goon squad reference. We're sorry, you know you didn't know. I don't usually have that problem. After the last couple of days, I

definitely didn't have that problem. I had that bed. I was done. Yeah, So before we end the super Bowl, gym and I'm sorry to interrupted this, But Frank, I gotta get your thoughts. What happened yesterday, you were on the air. You went nuts yesterday off the air, on the air. Now's your chance, your show man, take it away. Yeah, I've had a little bit more time to reflect on it regarding Oh, look, there's a lot of moving parts when it comes to this trade with stops porzingis to

the Dallas Mavericks. Obviously, if you're a Mavericks fan, if you're thinking about becoming a Mavericks fan, uh, it's a good time to do so because they have a great young core between Luca don Check and Kris stops porzingis. Rick Carlisle was on a radio show yesterday in Dallas and said he's hoping that these two can be the next coming of Dirk Navitsky and Steve Nash, except only taller.

So great for them. I joked yesterday on a Twitch show about potentially moving to Dallas, and I'm still looking into that, but from a Knicks perspective, And I don't know, maybe I was a little bit premature when I killed the Jets for signing Adam Gaze, because because ultimately you gotta see what he does on the field, like, the results are gonna speak for themselves one and that will

really determine what that signing was. And I think the same holds true for this trade, right, Like, there's there's a huge amount of risk involved trading away your best player probably since Patrick Ewing. I'm Hewing now your best player that they've drafting. We're calling Patrick Hewing is best, the best player they've had since Patrick Hewing? Why why do you keep calling Patrick Hewing? How Patrick Ewing? I know that, and that's just how I say it. What

you're really gonna interrupt my analysis? Not trick Healing? That was crazy. Continue. I don't even want to do it anymore. Go ahead, talk come on then. Anyway, there's a lot of risk involved when you trade away a player of this caliber just to clear up the books. That's basically what they did. This is a salary dump and you trade away the best player that you've drafted since Patrick Ewing.

There it is um and you're doing so because of mistakes that you've made yourself or maybe that Phil Jackson mad like that's the staff. That's what we're still suffering from because they need to trade away a guy like Courtney Lee and Tim Harway Jr. Remember they signed those contracts. It is not like they took on those contracts from

someone else. They signed those contracts, and now all stimately they paid the price by trying to get those contracts off their books, by trading away one of their best players, uh that they've drafted absolutely basically like this was a guy who kind of like brought hope back to the organization the unicorn, right, but there you know, the risk is you're doing so hoping that you can sign guys

like you don't have a verbal commitment. Now, I will say this, if a guy like Kevin Durant or Kyrie Irving does end up in New York, that is evidence that tampering does exist, because there's no way you make a trade like this unless you have some kind of deal behind closed doors, some handshake agreement, something, unless you're the Knicks, Unless like they legitimately are just doing this

hoping that they get someone. And we joked about it yesterday, they probably end up with guys like Tobias Harrison, like Chris Middles, like the Marcus Cousins, and it's like all this was for nought, but really we won't be able to judge this trade until free agency and see what they're able to do, because that's the hope. In terms of the package they brought back really underwhelming, obviously to expiring contracts. I was hoping that they would at least be able to get a young asset that has a

right or future. I don't know the Dennis m Jr. Is that player. They do get two first round picks. One is a top ten protected first round pick. One is unprotected. So that's pretty cool. Um, yeah, you won't be able to judge it until you see what they're able to do in free agency. But ultimately, the Knicks is traded away their best player since Patrick ewing Eing

because of a salary dumb move. Now, I think you're you're your idea of this trade is pretty spot on, right, Like your analysis is right there, and I agree with that, And it's very frustrating that you have to use your best player to ultimately don't salary that you yourself created and brought on the books. Like that's what's very frustrating. If it wasn't the Knicks, you would look at this trade be frustrated by Porzingis. But like what they're doing,

they're clearing cap space. They got two first round packs rather than training picks away for once, one of which is completely unprotected potentially in one pending that the Mavericks don't have a top five draft pick this year, because that's the only way it's protected. The fact is, you get two first round picks, you get loads of cap space you have then you have the number one overall pick potentially this year. There could be an influx of talent in the garden. And if they bring in two

big time names, I'm talking Kyrie and Durant. I'm talking about Kemba and Jimmy Butler. I remember talking at like big time names. You bring in big names here with the two first round picks coming, you would like it. I mean theoretically, any other team you would like the move. But with the Knicks, they have not gotten the trust of the New York fans, their owned fans. You don't give them the benefit of the doubt, and you're right

not to do it. They have not earned that. After legitimately your entire life, all twenty seven years of your life, they've been horrific. Every decision they made has been wrong. They were actually pretty good, but I was too young to even remember stuff, right, twenty years eight years old, right, So the last twenty years of your life, they made every wrong decision you could possibly make, over and over

and over again. In they cleared all the space for Lebron and as you pointed out all week, they got him. Are Stodemeyer if they're doing this again and clearing out all this space and they don't actually have a shot at Kyrie or don't actually have a shot at Kevin Durant. This is a joke. Now, Kyrie every thinking about today and say listen, I'm gonna do its best for me. He did not say anything I've ever asked me on July first, at the previously saying he wants to resign

with Boston. He ain't resigning with Boston. And you know a lot of people have talked about maybe him going back to UH to l A. Imagine all along like this was kind of something that they knew, like it was not we'll meet up again in l A one day, Like don't worry about it, man, I remember, like unlaid a lot of these guys. Kyrie is ah, I mean, you know it's Australian born, but New Jersey he's a he's a little kid. A buddy of mine used to play against him in au growing up. Very cool, very cool.

Kevin Durant has always been an East Coast guy before Golden State. Honestly, Washington Kembas from the Bronx, So, like you know, I mean, I would be very surprised if Kemba in a lonesty, If Kemba or Kyrie doesn't end up in New York, there's very surprised. There's also a lot of risk in this trade regarding the Doubts match. Remember, I mean they're taking on a seven foot three player returning from a c L injury that has never happened before.

So there's a lot of risks there. And you know, history is playing against porsing this here because seven foot three guys have not fared well in the NBA in terms of being able to stay healthy. That's what a lot, A lot that I've read says that behind closed doors, the Knicks are very worried about his long term health. And you've kind of seen that the first three or four years he's he's constantly in and out of the

mental health because he he hated the Knicks. Nicks hated him and that and that was kind of the end of that. I don't blame Poring, by the way, all of course, because they created this culture, this dysfunction. I mean it started with Isaiah Thomas and Phil Jackson, and you know, James Dolan is obviously the ringleader of all this.

Like they've created dysfunction, they've welcomed it. They always want to be in the papers, they always want people talking about the Knicks, and at some point there's a price to pay for that, and yesterday they paid that price when they traded away Christops Porzing is because he didn't want to be part of the organization. And there's a lot that goes on find closed doors here, like did they set up this meeting, but did they have trade already set up in place before? And like that came

out afterwards Frankie that they met with Christmas. There's always a lot of politics, and they met christas using his last week I think, and basically five minutes later didn't realize that they're trying to make him look like the bad guys. Of course they are, of course they are, don't That's what they do. Um. I will say this, coming in the year, I was pretty high on Dennis Smith Jr. Like I drafted him in fantasy. I wanted him in our team in fantasy. Didn't what we didn't

wind him getting him? But I was in on Dennis Smith Jr. Are we gonna, let you know, a couple of bad months, say we Dennismith Junior sucks? Now, this is what twenty years old like. That's not fair. I get what you're saying, but a lot of this is a guy when you wanted on the Knicks last year, you want him to draft to him. I didn't hate the Frank pick at the time. It doesn't look very good right now you want didn't you want ds J Moore? I think it was already Like I wasn't really sold

on either. And for people out there who were saying, like we should have taken Donovan Mitchell, like that was never gonna like the Jazz just look, you fell into their lap, so credits of the Jazz, But that was

never gonna happen. Um. I do think people are maybe writing him off a little bit too early, correct, but the concerns with his games, like doesn't play defense, Yes, he has athleticism, Uh, the jump shot is a little spotty here and they're like, it kind of fits the mold of an NBA player, But is he ever going to be an All Star? I don't know, Probably not. I'd probably take the under on All Star appearances with

Dennis Smith Jr. If I'm just being honest. A lot of people I watch a lot of basketball, but there are people who watch even more basketball than me and study the game, and I would value their opinion more. Who don't like the prospects of Dennis Sman Jr. Being a long term great NBA player. It's fair, an, It's annoying, but it's fair. Jimmy thought, Yeah, yeah, he's basketball. Who

are the Knicks had to ask? Not worries, guys, you're doing fun, jim Can you ever remember it doesn't even have to be just bas more related a team trading away their best player, just just as a salary dump like I couldn't and I'm sorry, I think it makes all the sense. It makes all the sense in the world for a lot of different reasons. First of all, clear cap space, which is what they needed. They get two future First, one, like you guys have already been

talking about, is unprotected, could be gold. Um, you know they're they're tanking right now the season to try and get that number one pick. You know, they're doing all those things to get there. They they are in fact rebuilding. So at that point, yes, look, the guy doesn't want to be here, You don't want him here, you have long term concerns about his health. If all of that stuff is indeed true, then absolutely it's get him out of the door. Let's build for the future. And that's

what they're doing. It's not like he's winning them games now. No, of course, of course not. And it is a little bit different because their best player has been out all year a c L and the best hats them. So it's like when you've seen some of these other trades of superstars around the NBA, And I M not saying the superstar like Chris Paul Livil superstar, when you're saying, like, trade these trades, where do they get back? Right? Like a lot of the times you do get back future

picks and cap space. That's what the Thekees. That's so the Knicks ultimately did. Now, Dennis Smith Jr. You know, probably you're right, probably won't be an All Star, but he's the maverage were not. You're not getting but wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, let's back off of that for a second, because you know,

right he may not never be an All Star. But if this trick moved, you know, if this trade works the way they wanted to, and you know you were talking about this earlier, Frank, if it gets them to bring in some big names into the team, maybe the kid doesn't have to be a superstar to be a good player in this league. What if he's a good compliment to the big names that you already bring in, and they in fact bring him along and he just

gets a little better. You know, I don't see the downside to having him here, especially at his age, you know, I mean that Jim said that kind of just popped into my mind. Is what if he turns into the next Lou Williams. Is out of the realm of possibility, Greg, why like a solid six man option off the bench. He's twenty years old, So again, give him the benefit of the doubt. Let him prove it at the NFL, at the NBA level. Um, give him some minutes, give

him some opportunity and see what he could do. And I think you've got to do the same thing with Frankiela keen as well. Let these guys play now second half of the season and to see, you know, let them develop and see what they could turn into. I think at the least they could be rotation level NBA players. Any maybe they turn into even more. And if you really think about it, they want to sign a guy like Kyrie Irving or Kemba Walker anyway, and Smith Jr.

Isn't gonna be the starter. So really all you need to be as a competent bench player. Sham has just tweeted Anthony Davis is focused on the Lakers as his top preferred destination, but the Knicks are also preferred landing spot and try to make the post for New Orleans to go trade with the Knicks. So A d you

can play in New York. We'll take that.

hours a day. Back with you, Fantasy best Friends Forever, Fantasy Sports Radio Network, Greg Suspan, Franky Stample, Jim Day hanging out with us today on a Friday. Jim, I I read earlier you have announcement to make on a Frenzy today. Yeah. I got something I gotta say, but I'll just save that till later. Sorry, guys, That's why I said, I you have announced with Ton on the Frenzy today. So what I'm saying, yes, yes, yeah, I gotta get it out of get it off my chest.

All right. We'll be honest with you, a lot of people expect me to know things around here. I don't. I do not know what Jim's announcement is. I think it has to do with he's got a new drum set er. Some could be, could be you never know. By the way we have Astor doing once again, are doing a super Bowl contest here and you can participate over on fandals we do all year long. Five bucks. Let us know. Tweet at us if you want to play.

A lot of you guys have already signed up or not technically engine made a line up yet if you played our last contest, but it's on Fandel right now. Um, if you want to get in, just tweet at Frank or myself and we will get you in there. Obviously, single game format is only one game, an m VP at one point five times the points. Everything else is just a flex. So basically, if you've been in the contest throughout the playoffs, you're already in it. You just have to set your line up. So shout out to

our guy. I believe his name is Andre. Can you catch up? I think he's won it twice in the playoffs. Are in articulous, so shout out to him. He's been doing a great job. But for anyone else who's out there who wants to join, I mean there might be people By Sunday who don't set their line up. So if you want to invite um and their spots available, I'll be sure to get you in. But again, if you're inside the contest, just make sure to set your

line up before Sunday. Greg's right, there's one m VP slot where you get one point five times the fantasy production, and then there are four other spots spots that you need to fill, so it's just five flexes. If you haven't played the single game format before, you can use kickers. You can use any wide receivers, running backs. You can use both quarterbacks if you want to, which of course makes things a little bit harder because they are both

the two highest salaried players. You have sixty grand to spend, and obviously all the prices are much higher in the single game format. Frankie mentioned Brady and gothel fifteen. I don't every buddy Jim SNAs he kind of always recommends using a kicker. They always yeah, So something I would, uh, I would recommend before setting a single game lineup is our own. Drew drink Meyer of Daily Rodo just joined

the DFS EDGE Daily Fantasy Edge podcast, very popular. Adam of a Tan left Adam Levitan and they kind of they went in depth on Showdown slate strategy and who to use as your m v P, and a lot of talk about correlation. And again I think we'll do that again today when we were talking about like our best bets some prop bets that I made yesterday. Is trying to correlate your prop bets with how you think

the game flow is gonna go. The same thing goes with this single game Showdown, and maybe you know, if you play in a bigger field contest, you'll make multiple line ups with the same game flow. Like there can be there could be like a game flow you think is gonna happen, but it could play out two different ways in terms of, all right, the rams are playing catch up. But I'll make one lineup where I think Brandon Cooks is gonna get a lot of the production.

I'll make another lineup where I have Jared Goff and Robert Woods. You know, so, like, know what you think the game flow is going to be. And then I would say, kind of make your single game lineups base off that game flow. Does that hold true, Jim, even in a even in a I guess um, in a single game format, I hear Frank saying, but when it's a smaller const like what we're doing twenty people, right you, I know, a lot of times a fane you trot or in DFS rather you kind of try to balance

it out what you're doing. It's like, all right, let me, I'm getting like Brady and Edelman. Maybe I should get Todd Gurley. So it's like kind of even out in a smaller context, it makes sense to do it that way or kind of go Frank was saying, go all in on what you believe the game flow is and not necessarily trying to even it out just in case. No, I don't like the going with the game flow thought process because if your game flow thought processes off right

from the get go, you're done. Um. You know, if you expect the Rams to get out to a lead and you're expecting Brady and the team to come back and have to throw a lot, you know, if they come out of the gate running the ball right down to ramstroats, you're off your game already. So not a big fan of that. I mean, I get the idea, but I also think there's gonna be a lot of

people running their teams that way. For me, I like to just pick the random players that I think are likely to have good games that I could fit into

my lineup. Um, and you know I'm gonna take shots on guys in my captain role that you know I'm I'm thinking most people won't be on, at least not as heavily owned as others, because let's face it, at this point, you're trying to pick the players that nobody else is really on, and there's not enough players to really get that far out, So you gotta you gotta take some chances that you know, I get the fact that you know they always want to have a kicker

in there, but you're kind of limited with zirline being, you know, not in practice all week. What if he goes out there, tries to make the first kick and he's on, um, and then you're screwed. I mean, if you're gonna go with kickers, I think you have to go with Kaskowski in this one. It's just hard to take that chance on their line. Um, you know without you No, I don't know that One's bothered me a

little bit. I'm a little worried about zir line, do you And I think it's fair it's kind of crazy, but you you realize, like, were you you made a bet on zir line? Maybe the m v P on the Super Bowl? Right, it's a five dollar wage. I got this thousand dollars. It was five dollars, risk five dollars to win one two hundred and fifty. So I'll risk five dollars for that. And it was one of those things where the Vandal Sports book gave me like ten free dollars to play with. So I'm playing with

house money. Might as well use it on something crazy. And you are a buddy in our chat. I believe it was Ron C earlier in the week, So you put thirty dollars. I'm probably not doing that. I like, I like where your head's at, Like, like, I'll throw five ten dollars on this. That's on the off chance. Again it's kicker has never been the m v P of the game. But I think we're missing out though, you know, we should be taking side bets on all

these all these crazy props. Um, you know what a ron you want to send me thirty bucks, I'll take that bet on their line. Yeah, I got a bad point, Jim. I Also it's it's funny when it goes to your props and get back to the def has one sec. But I was looking at some props this morning, Frank,

and you're right, man, you were right. Like every you you see, every one of these props, you always want to take the over like that is your initial instinct is to always take the over because no one wants to root for the under of everything, and that's where

the money is. Man, Your thousandersn't right with that? Yeah, People who are a lot smarter than me, things that I've things that I've listened to regarding like former odds makers and stuff, they say, you know, most of the money is made and this is where like the sharp guys come in where they just hammer under the hammer a bunch of nose on these props, especially during the Super Bowl, because you get props available to you that aren't normally available because on any given week you're not

getting a James Devlin plot, no doubt. That's why, Like I'm jumping in on a James Devlin prop in the Super Bowl because his over under arn yards is four and a half. How often is James four and a half totally yards? Now? It could be over in one play. I realized that, But how likely is it that James Devlin even gets the ball outside of like a third and one, a fourth and one a four, like you know,

a goal line conversion five yards on that? A lot of a lot of money is Frank, I would be totally with you if it wasn't Bill Pellichick, because you know, while everybody else is thinking the same thing, you are Bills thinking something different. How many times you think James Devlan has gone over four and a half yards this season, Frank, I was just about to have it up, Uh, well, including the playoffs four times. Unfortunately it was six times,

six times. Six times he's gone over four and a half yards including the playoffs, six out of eighteen weeks. Six weeks, He's go on over. I'll take those odds every time. There you go. So I'm getting twelve out of eighteen times he's gone under four and a half yards and I got that, and I believe like minus one thirties, So I think the odds are in my favor. Perfect. Good thanks, but no, seriously, just getting back to the

props as well. There's just there's more stuff available this week than like normally you'll see, um, the biggest name receivers, biggest name rushers, like the offer props for that, especially on like single games like Thursday night games, Sunday night, Monday night games. You'll get that. But we're getting like any prop imaginable you could think of when it comes to kickers, when it comes to Jared Goff rushing yards,

Tom Brady, when it comes to forget, that's a lot. Like, dude, there's so much easy money to be made this week to Tony almost saying Hotlanta, like just take the hot you take no on everything this week. It's getting excited. Can you take the note and the under on everything? I guarantee you would be more profitable than not this weekend? How about how about Tom tom Brady's rushing yards at

one and a half. But Frank made a good point, man, Frank made the point of all points that if he does rush for that one yard right, or rushes for does it twice and fourth and one, you're at two. When he kneels down at the end of the game, you're gonna lose the yard. And that's how you're gonna lose this bet. Honestly, I'd probably take the under put right. He was great it was a great call. I like, I like Jared Goff under it's like eight and a

half rushing yards. Take the under there, Like, how has he done that this year? Like? Look, I took why did you reveal all your problem girl's longest rush under seventeen and a half yards? Just because you don't know how healthy is he hasn't been breaking off long runs recently. I think they are going to try and get him the ball a little bit more here it's a do or die game. But again, how healthy is he? And I'm pretty sure the Patriots are going to zwn in

on trying to stop the run. I think they want Jared Goff to try and beat it. So I take the longest rush under seventeen and a half yards. I took Tom Brady over twenty five and a half, I revealed earlier on the week. I know I'm talking a lot about unders, but this just seems too easy here. I mean the first two games, where their game plan was more so to run the football. He has had thirty and thirty four completions respectively in the first two games.

And I looked at the past Super Bowls and he's gone over twenty five and a half um pretty regularly in the Super Bowl. So I like that New England and l A rams under twenty seven and a half first half points. I mentioned coming into this Super Bowl. The past eight Super Bowls that the Patriots have been in the first quarter, they've combined for three three points. So, um, yeah, there could be some point scored in the in the second quarter for sure, but I'm still taking the under

twenty seven and a half in the first half. But but to that point, Trackie and you mentioned about you know, Patriots last year scoring three points. All the other Super Bowls they've had, they've scored zero in the first half in the first quarter. Man, I want to bet a touchdown in the first core for the paths so bad you're probably getting good odds in it right now, right when numbers are you looking at? Uh, that's what I

haven't really got to that one yet. I've been doing a bunch of other stuff, but that's probably what I'm gonna be spending my entire day tomorrow. I was looking at those But if they give me one that's a

decent number for that, I'm definitely gonna take it. Yeah, it just comes down to value too, Like if you see a number that seems off to you, like Jim saying, and you're if you're getting plus money on the path of the Patriots and score touchdown in the first quarter, then again it says a lot of these problems again are also value based, right look at the look at

how much juice you're laying. If there's something to you that seems like it should be more even or even like favored in your opinion, and you're getting that plus money. I remember yesterday the really as longest rush under seventeen and a half. I got that at plus money, Greg, And that's something that I was talking about the other day. He loved it that I was. I was pretty much

in on on that. And then I think it was the over two and a half players with past attempts, something that I've talked about, which has I like, that's hitting me in the past five Super Bowls. Uh. And you know we've seen trick play from the Patriot in the past, you know, getting Ms Julian Edelman involved throwing the ball the Rams punter um. You know, I could just see somebody else throwing the ball here in this game.

Over two and a half players with past attempts. I got that at plus money as well, and it's something that I feel pretty good about. And then the final one that we've referenced is James Devlin under four and a half total yards. Those are the five props that I hit on yesterday when I was in Jersey. Fair enough, there you go. Did you have a beer when you're in Jersey? I did not? Did you have you buy

a water? I ordered a sprite which was two dollars, and I gave the bartend a three dollars sip and I just asked if I could sit here and put my bets in and had no problems with it. Great, that's great. I'm glad. I'm glad it worked out for you. I knew all along it was going to great, but thanks for being concerned. Hey man, I just want to make sure you can always tell a person who's worked as at a bar, as a bartender or server, you

know what kind of tip they leave. Well, three dollars on a two dollars sprite is a very generous tip, it is, but it's comes from somebody who's been on the other side and no knows what you know, what it's like to be on the other side, I've seen Greg not tipped when getting a beer. I'm with you, Frank, I'm a big tipper. I like to tip they usual. Greg. This is a trick, and I know because I was

a bartender. You instead of giving the one dollar per beer that you're gonna do over the course of drinking five beers at night, right, you give the five dollars first and foremost. Then that bartender will always be looking your way if you need a beer. And not only that. You know when it comes to like buy backs, if they are a bar that you know, hey, you buy three beers, you get your fourth one free. Whatever, They're gonna keep you in mind because you give them a

five dollar Sure, I know, I hear that. I understand that, and I understand it works. But it's not a very crowding bar, and I'm not worried. It's there's no one there and I'm just just just us. I probably just hit a dollar at a time I wanted to. Well, I hear on that. I'm absolutely I'm always at least giving a dollar. Chip. You give me a dollar per drink, right, You're not giving a dollar, are you? Or a dollar per order? No per drink, so if I'm buying me

and you a beer, I'm given two dollars. That's that's the lowest you could go. I would say, bar etiquette, you got to give at least a dollar per drink. That's what I was appreciate talk. Yeah, I was brought up like that as Well's it's nice to know you learn something new every day. Greg happy to help. I feel you they're going a terrible tipper. I didn't say it. I'm actually in the back of your mind. You must

be self conscious about it, honestly, very good tipper normally. Yeah, no, yeah, I know that you're a big you know, very generated for the service that you get. So if you get good service, you probably tipped well. And you know what, I just the problem is, even when I get bad services, I like feel bad, Like this guy isn't that bad. He works on tips, probably don't make a lot of money, like do it at this job. He relies on it, So I ultimately feel bad. And Judy is like the

ruthless one. What's that famous scene. It's in a movie where like they argue about their inside of a diner and they're arguing whether or not you should tip well and He's like, well, they get paid to be you know it or a waitress, so why am I going to tip them for doing their jobs. It's a famous scene. I don't know what sing you're talking about, but I also understand that mindset, like that it kind of used their job to serve. Yeah, but they also get paid

super cheap because they work off tips. I agree, Listen, they don't even make minimum weight. I hear you, man, and I agree that. There's a lot of stuff that bothers me. It's like I asked for something and then I just totally forgets that's not acceptable, like writing down if I if I ordered her if I don't mean. I have a terrible memory. So I used to ask people.

I used to like tell their order back to them when I would work at the barty, Like they're like, oh, you know they're ordering for a group of this this is I'll be like, all right, so just so I'm clear you want this? Yeah, I might even come back then be like is what you wanted? Right? So I make sure I get it right. So last night, for instance, from It's from Reservoir Dogs by the very famous. So last night I went to dinner, I went out for dinner and I ordered some pasta and I ordered a

ginger le What said pasta? Interesting mix? I was in the movie for Soda when No Draw, No Jan Drew. I'm halfway through my pasta, and I'm like, are you a gin droll? It wasn't like, oh, that's a bad job. It wasn't like, oh, I'm so sorry. I was like, oh, yeah, no problem. Are you kidding me? Like you did order it with your meal? I ordered it right at the beginning. Greg.

While we're on the discussion of people who like not get paid a lot when they're like either a bartender or a waiter or a waitress or an analyst, let's save that for a different day, Jim. But I'm sorry, did that come out up loud? I was just thinking, Man, I'm sorry, Greg. I worked. I worked based off of a shift pay, and I think a lot of I worked in like a like an old old style Irish bar,

dive bar or whatever. I would work based on a shift pay, and everything anything I made on tips on top of that was what I was able to take home. What do you think my shift pay was? And I would work anywhere from six pm two if it was a busy night four am. If it's a slow night, I'll close up at one am. Okay, So I work anywhere from like a seven to ten hour shift shop. I would say ten bucks an hour my shift paid. My shift pay was forty dollars flat and everything I

made on top of that was sip. Just to put that in perspectively, discuss that was about like five years ago, and it would still have nights where like it was actually pretty good, like take like a hundred and fifty night, so it's not bad like one night at work. But you also need good tippers to be able to make I read a story on the Athletic the strippers are making ten tho dollars a night, So what are you

doing here? Greg? No idea. When we come back, we'll go over the price to give you the DVS picks and make our final picks both Sunday from the NFL to the NBA.

The NBA has added two future Hall of Famers, Durko Bisky and Dane Weight as special roster additions to the All Star Game. We're gonna get one of those spots per year. Now moving forward? Is that thing last year two? I think Kobe Bryant was like the last one who was voted in who shouldn't have been, but just because it was like it's farewell to what kind of thing like I

don't do. You're probably who cares. Whatever. It's like, it's it's the Alstar game. It's an exhibition game. All right, guys, let's get in dfs um for this weekend. That's to exploit. I think that's what we're like, really got to get into it. Okay, um magic to exploit. Let's let's let's let's get right into it. The week part of the Patriots defense, Jim is what oh huh wow. The way

they're playing right now, there's not many Um. I'd say, if you really want to push it, you know, defensive back can be can be taken advantage of, but you gotta have time to do that. They're gonna really need to keep that that rush off of golf. Okay, so keeping the rush off of golf, that's the outlets of line has been lauded and they both have been We talk offensive lines in this game have been great. We

talked once in the playoffs Tom Brady zero. We talked to Marshall Falk about this and he basically says the Patriots offensive lines bums. And now that they start SCARNECKI either offensive line coach is just unbelievable at what he does. The question becomes sustained success there absolutely is he going to be able to scheme well enough to stop Aaron Donald and Domalkin, Sue and the rest of the defensive line in Los Angeles from getting to Tom Brady? That's

the question. Now. The offensive the Patriots have used Frank throughout the playoffs is ride Sony Michelle early on and make things easier for Tom Brady? Is that the way you expected to go? Again? I think it's a little bit tougher this week, tough sledding for Sony Michelle and sorry Greg and the new Patriots rushing attack. If you look at what the Rams defense has been able to do, and I've talked about this, I asked Marshall about it a little bit yesterday. If you're Wade Phillips, what are

you trying to take away in this game? Because what he's been able to take away the first two playoff games that they've played in is against Ezekiel Elliot. I believe he ran for forty yards or somewhere around there. So they were able to limit him. They were able to limit one of the better offensive lines in football, one of the better running backs. Very next week, they were able to limit mark Ingram and Alvin Kamara. From a rushing perspective, Avan Kamara still caught a lot of balls.

We talked about that this week as well. There was one drive where basically they threw it's him every time. I think he had like three or four catches for fifty yards on one drive. So that might be I guarantee you that's gonna be something that stands out on film for Josh McDaniels and the New England Patriots tending into this game. So if you're looking at matchup, sweet sploit, and I'll tell you right now he I already have

him inside my lineup. I'm using James White because I think he might be the one, and we've seen it in the Super Bowl. And I know, you know when we were talking about James White props earlier on in the week, it hasn't been every like it hasn't been consistent throughout his postseason career that he dominates a little bit different. Remember that game against the Falcons where he should have been the Super Bowl V get three total

touchdowns in that game. I think James White is the more effective from a fantasy perspective running back in this game. Then Tony Michelle or even Rex Burkhead just because he scored two touchdowns last week, I think it's worth mentioning. I think once again, the Rams are going to try and stop the run, which is crazy because it's basically

you're inviting Tom Brady to beat you. But if you play it right and you are sending safety help, you're knocking Julie Edelman off his routes a little bit, and you're telling Tom Brady to beat you with his outside weapons. I think that's the way that the Rams defense should be attacking this game. Doesn't matter, Jim, do you keep to leave? Of course a former New England Patriot? Will that help him A don't. I'll help him in the coverage?

Will that help their knowledge at all? Now? He's been done too long and Belichick is gonna definitely change things up just for that reason, know who he's going against. So yeah, they they've definitely got new wrinkles involved. And you know my problem with with counting on James White this week, especially in DFS, is everybody else will be and that's where you know, you have to try and

figure out some way to separate yourself. And I just figured that James White is probably gonna be when one of the bigger chalk plays of the week, just because everything's Frank's talking about. You know, they should probably pass to him a lot, get a lot of work in

the passing game. But again, and this is where I go crazy personally as an analyst, is Bill Belichick because I try to get into his head and then I get lost in my own head and I'm trying to figure out this side and that side, and meanwhile he's doing the exact opposite, and it just drives me nuts. But I could easily see them using James White is a decoy in this because the defense is going to

be looking for the same exact thing. Right. We have Sawn angled downstairs on the ones and twos, and I believe a famous saying of his father, father the King, it's over analysis leads to paralysis. It does. It kills me sometimes the phrase Jim for but Jim in that same regard that you're talking about with James White. I think people are gonna look at what Sony Michelle has done the first two games of this playoff, and I

think he'll be quite highly owned as well. Don't you like They're gonna look at the first two games, and they're gonna say, look at what look at the way they've been using Sony Michelle. I think that they're gonna use Sony Michelle this way again in the Super Bowl. Do you think a lot of people are gonna have that logic as well? I don't not to interrupt you, Jim before your answer. I don't, man, I think more

people just look at the Patriots. I think people remember what they see last though, right, isn't that like Dave talked about that a lot from a betting so he don't remember what they see last. So I've seen it now two games and no, I hear you, and I think I understand your logic were it comes to the Patriots. I think it's just a little bit different because the Patriots, the first name that you rattle up your tongue is

always going to be Tom Brading no matter what. Right, when you think of the Patriots and all their history in the Super Bowl, you don't think of a back getting them all thirty times, rushing for a hundred yards and getting touched out or two. You know, you never will think of that when it comes to the pass. And I totally recognize that is at exactly how they started the game each of the last two games that they rode Sony Michelle, particularly in the first half of

both games. Before when you have a little bit we both remember that. Wherever two weeks past that, and if I'm talking about these two teams and something that sticks in my mind first instinct, right for the Patriots, it's Tom Brady. For the Rams, it's Todd Gurling sitting on the sidelines or five plays. I'll remember that when it comes to the Rams or sitting on the sidelines, uh, being in the game for five plays, That's where I'm gonna remember. I'm not remembering, in all honesty, how great

Sony Michelle has been. So I don't think Sony Michelle is going to be over over own. I'll think of the under owned. I think more people will realize, oh, James White, he's past catching back. I remember when he did in the Super Bowl two years ago. I know I love James White. I think that's the direction where people going. Now, Greg, does this change your mind? Michelle four thousand five on Fandel is the third highest priced

player on this single game slate. So when I was looking at getting James White at two thousand dollars less when I was looking at the slate this earlier, that did change find some thousand per seven in James White? Then are you kidding me? Thousands? Like two thousand dollars less? Of course I am. Everybody's but everybody's going to but two thousand dollars less. You just talked about like find when he keeps props right, like find something you believe in and if the odds are in your favor, like

go for it. That's what it is with James White. I like James White more from a DFS perspective, and he's cheaper. Why wouldn't I put him in him? Um, do you have anything on that? I mean regarding Sony Michelle, do you think he'll be higher owned? Because that's what we've seen. I'll also throw this your way just because James White is chalk. If it's a single game lineup, you do need to have to talk like you do need to have the guys that are going to produce.

So if you do think James White is going to produce even though he's gonna be chalk, it comes down to like those fringe players who are going to make the difference, and maybe we'll get into some of those as well. Some of some of the low salary guys who are gonna make the difference here could also signed him. But couldn't also the difference who you choose as your as your m v P, right, Like, couldn't that be the difference? Or you're just being like, listen, let me

just pick Tom Brady, picked Jarry Goffam. Worry about it the goodest. Look, I'm just kidding, Jim. No worries because um look this is you know, I keep coming back. I think James White is going to be more owned than Sony Michelle. I get what you're saying, Frank, but especially on DraftKings in the full PPR. You know, James White to me is gonna be chalking. You're right, you

do have to have some chalk. You have to pick the right chalk that you want to use, because just because a player is chalk doesn't mean they're gonna end up giving you the numbers you're expecting or better. And you know, I have concerns with James White. We've seen Rex Burkhead get a little bit more involved lately. I wouldn't be surprised at all if White is the decoy and all of a sudden, Birkheads getting a lot of

that work. Um, you know, and you're talking about a guy who's you know, a couple of grand cheaper than even White is. So you know, it really comes down to you. You want to pick the players you think it's gonna have a good game. I get all that, but at the same time you have to you know, and not so much. It's not so different in it twenty guide league, like the ones you guys are doing.

But if you're playing in trying to play in a big tournament, I mean, you have to take shots at guys that just aren't gonna be there for a lot of people, guys like Dorset or Reynolds or somebody that just has a chance to differentiate you if they have a good game. Let's get into some of those players. Who's some of these lower salary players we think and make the difference. I'll tell you the one that I

have in my lineup right now. So I haven't I haven't made my lad of yet, but the guy at first comes to mind, this is a different it's different one good good what we're talking about. It's Rex Burkhead and he's ten so he's ten thousand dollars, still really expensive, though he's only five dollars less than Robert Woods was so much more of I would say, solid role in the game plan. And I think if we're just talking

about matchups that they're gonna exploit. Once again, I've talked about this corner for the Patriots, it's j C. Jackson, who teams have kind of been picking on here, who they've been calling penalties against. We know they're very strong with outside corners in terms of have Stefan Gilmore and they have Jason mccordy on the outside. Those guys are very strong. Now, Robert Woods doesn't solely play in the slot. It's you know, him and Josh Reynolds rotate, but they

move these guys around. But Robert Wood still plays thirty maybe of his snaps in the slot, and I think he'll have some places where he can exploit here. So if you're telling me you're getting Robert Woods only five more than a guy like Rex Burkhead, I'm gonna lean Robert Woods. But like it's not impossible that Rex Burkehead I can't have another game like he did last week. Going back to what Jim said, look, it's Bell, it's Belichick. Who is the one that who was it? Jake says,

the Bela tricks. Probably that's so gross. Um, I think so. I think like if you just look at the prices on Fanduela, there's only four guys that play at all that could be can cherry and I mean literally unless you go with one of the Rams tight ends. You one of the Rams tight ends. Have fun Tyler be six general every six, so have fun with that. But like other than that, you have grantins under ten grand.

You have Philip Door said at eight five hundred, Josh Reynolds everyone's talked about for literally the last three weeks in DFS eight five hundred, and then Chris Hogan at seventy five hundred, which people have talked about for the last three weeks as well. People keep going back to these Josh Reynolds and Chris Hogan wells and hope it works that the people keep doing it. And I'm sure I'll do it in the Super Bowl because their price where they are, like, everybody will have one of these

guys in their lineup, gentlemen, every single person. Now, I just and this is one of the things that kind of sets me off on FanDuel DFS. Is you know, when you look at the salaries on Fandel, then look at the salaries on DraftKings. I mean, on Fandel you just just said if Burkehead is five hundred dollars less than Robert Woods, I mean I don't get that. I

don't get that at all. I mean you look, you go over to Draft Kings and you're looking at a few thousand dollar difference three thousand to be exact, between Woods and Burkehead. So you know, some some of these Vanduel prices to me just seeing way all from the get go, and I think that's something that you can

exploit to Jim. I mean the way there are people who are profitable betting greg who literally open up tabs of twenty different sports books and they'll just compare numbers and say, I like the under on this player, Where can I find the highest number? That's the board. So you can use the strategy like Jim is presenting here where and you have to kind of you have to do the calculation yourself because DraftKings is PPR and Fandel is half PPR, so they care a little bit more

about players who can score touchdowns. But again he's right, like the disparity should not be three thousand dollars on draft Kings of Robert Woods is three thousand dollars more than Rex birkehead. Robert Woods should not only be five dollars more on fandoms. So you can kind of compare draftings and fandel prices and you use it for for both ways and say, who are some of the guys who are undervalued or overvalued based on their salaries on respective sites. You can kind of hit those two against

the other. I think I think it's a great point. With that, we sign off of YouTube for today. Up next Fantasy Football Frenzy with Corey Parsing, our our buddy, Jim Day and of course Chris Ventra, who all have all the final Super Bowl analysis. They're like, subscribe, rate us five stars and leave a comment. Subscribe to the channel. We always appreciate your support. We're live on the radio for another three minutes or so. Right, who is of

this group? Actually go to Jim first, Jim who is of Gronk Doorset, Josh Reynolds, Chris Hogan, these are all nine thousand dollars or less. You're gonna have to have at least one, maybe two of these players in your single game lineup, if you want to be able to get a quarterback in there, if you want to get a girlie, if you want to get into Julian Edelman, If who is the one or two guys between Gronk, doorset Reynolds and Hogan where you are most likely to

have in your line up. Rock Definitely, I think that Gronk's going out with a bang. We saw, you know, two weeks ago. He had a really good game, first game in a while, uh Taddy, he really stepped up, and I think that it happens again. I think he gets in the end zone in this one. Um. I just think he's gonna go out with a bang, and he's just gonna leave it all on the field, because I do think he's gonna retire after this year and

go start making movies or whatever he wants to do. Um. So I like Gronk, and you know, maybe that's my head speaking. I've always been a Gronk fan, but I like Gronk. I think he's gonna go out there. I got him in a few lineups in the captain role because I think he's gonna go out big, you know.

It's it's interesting. Gronk was given interesting answers this week when talking about his future, and he's like, listen, man, you just get hit so hard and you go full speed and all you do is get hit and you get beat up, and you get injured and you get hurt, and two days later you expected to practice at full speed back in the field. He's like, it's exhausting. It's like bodies are not meant especially what he does to blocking as much as he does. Like he's in the

trenches more than you know. Bottom wide receivers and running bodies are not built for that ultimately, and that's what That's what Gronk said. He's not wrong. I agree with Jim out of these guys, Frank, that Gronk has the most ability I think to really explode. I think with Chris Hogan, with Josh Reynolds, you're hoping for a big play. None of these guys are gonna be featured. There's a chance that Rob and Cossey, he could wind up be featured in this game, that he could be a big

part of the offense. Chris Hogan, Josh Reynolds, Filid door Set, that's not happening out of that crew drunks the answer. We'll say. Chris Hogan in Doorset are interesting to me just because I think Marcus Peters a guy who likes to bite a lot and could be prone to give being up the big play. These are the outside wide receivers. To them. We know Julian Edelman works mostly in the slot, drunk slot. Sometimes they move him outside. We all remember Romo pointing him out at the top of the screen.

Uh he end up catching a long pass down the field. But I do think, you know, I think Josh Reynolds is the one that I'm least likely to used. To be honest, I think between Doorset and Hogan, as cheap as they are, I think one of these guys can have maybe a few twenty thirty. Like yesterday, I was gonna take the under on Chris Hogan or Dorsets longest catch because I believe Hogan's was like nineteen and a half and Dorsets was a little bit higher than that.

But then I thought about it, and I thought, well, with a guy like Marcus Peters who likes to take chances, he's able to get beat deep sometimes like This isn't the safest bet because I could see one of these guys maybe doing something and popping off Philip Dorset, a guy who has scored a touchdown in three straight games. But it is worth mentioning that Chris Hogan is the

one that consistently plays more so. He's played seventy of the snaps each of the past three weeks, so he's on the field more than a guy like Dorsett isn't on the field as much but has the ability to make bigger plays. I do like the Grandcola as well, just from a personnelity perspective. Brands gave up the eighth most Fantasy points that tight ends this year, probably going that way. Jim will save your official prediction for the Frenzy.

Frank your final score please New England. I said it before, I'll say it again. You're going thirty four one. Adrius win again. Frenzy's up next. We'll see on Monday. We help
